"I've learnt new scales through playing different types of music, like Indian raga scales, gipsy scales and harmonically-based jazz scales."

I do believe young people should be obligated to try different types of music - that is what education is. But once you're in a situation as an adult, it doesn't benefit anybody - at least in my experience - to force music on people that they don't like or do not have an interest in - whether it's three-hundred years old or newly written.
